My Airport Express disappeared from my wi-fi network (again). How to get it back?

Using to stream iTunes to another room. Router DHCP table shows AE but APUtility doesn't find it. Grayed out in iTunes. This happens a couple times a year, suddenly. Very frustrating! When I connect by Ethernet works fine, so not hardware.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

    Reinstall it from the computer's original disks or an iLife 09 or earlier install DVD, and then run all applicable iPhoto updaters.

  • Airport express disappears from list of multiple speakers

    Since upgrading Mac OS X (to 10.5.7) and iTunes (to 8.2) my airport express remote speakers have not been working as reliably: The remote speakers tend to disappear from the "multiple speakers" list when they haven't been used for a few minutes. This is extremely annoying and takes away from the otherwise very smooth operation of iTunes Remote.
    The current workaround for this is to quit and restart iTunes. This is NOT a solution since it requires users to go to the computer that iTunes is running on and to intervene manually. The express is hanging off a wireless network set up on an Airport Extreme. Normally, I control iTunes remotely with my iPhone so I can change what's playing and so on.

    New observation: the problem seems to depend on whether you have a WDS network. Things are working much better for me since I reconfigured my network. Previously I used the express to extend the network set up on the extreme. After changing things so the express is just hanging off the extreme's wireless network iTunes has not been losing the express or speakers anymore. In fact, I can unplug the speakers, move them to a different part of the house, and often I can just plug them back in and they start playing again. Every now and then I have to stop and start them but I can do it with Remote where before I had to go to the computer that iTunes is playing on.
    Eventually I will be wanting to extend the network again to take the laptop outside on the decks since without WDS the network ends pretty close to the house's walls. I hope Apple will fix the original problem by then.

  • Airport Express Disappears From Network

    I have my Mac connecting to my Airport Express (6.3 firmware) via a Netgear DG834G wireless router.
    If I reset the Airport Express, then it can be seen by the Admin utility and iTunes, but will disappear after a short period of time ( say 10 minutes ).
    However even when it is not visible to the Admin Utilities scan I can still connect to the AX by its IP address, reset it and it will re-aooear again for a short duration.
    Any ideas?

    Same problem here...and yes also after receiving a new router from my provider.
    The weird thing however is that when I use Airfoil in combination with Winamp (or whatever media player) there are no problems at all.
    So the problem is for me clearly related to iTunes and the admin utility.
    When using iTunes I have exactly 1 hour and 17 minutes music.
    I have however no idea if Airfoil has a different way of comunicating with the AX (name, IP address, protocol)

  • Airport Express disappears from Airport Admin Utility

    If I power cycle my Airport Express, it correctly finds my (non-Airport) wireless network and its light turns green. It successfully works with Airtunes, and also works as a wireless bridge to my TiVo. However, after a period of time (usually a few hours), it starts flashing orange, and can't be found by either Airport Admin Utility or iTunes. However, it still successfully bridges the TiVo to my wireless router. Does anyone have any clue what's going on? If I power cycle it again, it goes back to green for a while, but it seems it can't refresh part of the connection without a power cycle.
    I should also add that when I first set it up I had major Airtunes dropouts, but then I changed from WPA2 to WPA on my network, and that seems to have helped.

    Perhaps when you switch it to 5 GHz the signal loss is so great that your Mac Pro can no longer receive the signal.
    5 GHz signals do not move through physical objects as well as 2.4 GHz signals.

  • The icon for Norton Identity Safe has disappeared and I can't figure out how to get it back on my toolbar.

    I use Norton which has a feature called "Identity Safe." In the old version of Mozilla, the icon for this feature was available on my toolbar. Now that I have converted to the latest version of Firefox, the icon has disappeared and I cannot figure out to get it back. I can still activate the Identity Safe by opening Norton, but I want to restore the shortcut.

    Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1, they have indicated this will be happening soon. For details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808

  • FaceTime Icon on my iPhone 5c disappeared after I restarted my iPhone. How to get it back?

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5c which is updated to IOS 7.1.1. I regularly use FaceTime and never had a problem. Today I restarted my iPhone as FaceTime Audio call was not connecting, as I normally do in such issue. When the iPhone got restarted the FaceTime App on my iPhone disappeared. I tried searching from the Spotlight it does not show. Even tried to go to Contact to connect call from there but I do not have option to make FaceTime call in contacts as well.
    How to fix this?

    Dear Felipe, there are are authorised Apple resellers in Pakistan. U can restore from iTunes backup and when it asks for carrier updates, donot install it and u are good to go. Everything works. Regards
    Please provide proof that backs up your statement. Care to name any iPhone "authorized resellers" in Pakistan? Provide links? Just because a store has the Apple logo on its window or a sign saying that they are an Apple reseller does not mean they are. There are no Apple iPhone authorized resellers of any kind listed on this (Apple's) website. In fact Pakistan is not even listed as a country where iPhones are legitimately available. By that I mean that Apple has sanctioned their sale. You might have grey-market resellers which is not in dispute here.
    And there are no Apple supported iPhone carriers in Pakistan either, no matter what you say or believe:
    iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
    The proof is in that if you install a carrier update via iTunes it cripples your FT.

  • I had a folder that was a part of firefox in the book marks are called Recently Bookmarked. It has now disappeared and i would like to know how to get it back?

    This folder was not one I created, but it appeared to be a part of the bookmark area. It save all recently saved book marks and was called "Recently Bookmarked". I used this feature last night and this morning when I went to use fire fox, it is gone.
    I tried restarting Firefox and it still has not fixed the problem. My question is, How do I get this feature back or how do I create a folder where everything I book mark goes into the folder until I can sort the book marks into the proper folders? thank you for your help

    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Restore+the+default+Smart+Bookmarks+Folders
    * "Recently Bookmarked" is a so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmark]] that shows the result of a place query in a list.
    * "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
    * Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    * Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.

  • Apple Airport Express disappears

    Hello,
    I do not think you live in the Bermuda Triangle and it is normal that my Airport Express disappears No, unfortunately not.
    I would like to use my AE to stream music, they've also integrated it with the Airport utility into an existing wireless network.
    10min long this works well, music will play properly, then "disappear", AE, and I can not in iTunes, select speakers, yet she finds the Airport Utility.
    Oddly enough, the pilot light is lit on the AE still green ie actually it should work.
    I use a router ASUS RT-N56U and use Windows 7
    Airport Utility software version 5.5.3
    iTunes version 10.5.2.11
    p.s. Sorry for my bad english, it comes from Google Translate german-englisch :-)

    See if this doesn't help.

  • Airport Express dropping from Airport Extreme

    Everything worked until a few weeks ago when I updated the firmware on an old Airport Express. The expresses (I had 2) started dropping from the network.
    I now have a new Airport Extreme, a new modem and a new Airport Express. The Express extends my network. The Express is 30 feet from my main house in a guest house. It is a direct line through the window through the sliding glass doors to the room with the Extreme. In the guesthouse the Express connects to the 2.4 Ghz with a transmit rate between 100 and 150. It works (like it is working now) and then it will drop off the network.
    I thought it was conflicting with my security router, which I have completely unplugged to test the Apple network. It still dropped off after working for a while. Sometimes it drops while I am using the network; other times it drops when I am not using it.
    I have tried:
    setting the channel to different numbers.
    hard rebooting everything and resetting up the network.
    getting a new modem.
    getting a new Express.
    getting a new Extreme (had a Time Capsule).
    had my cable line redone (the cable folks thought it was frayed and maybe that was the problem).
    The Extreme is on WPA2 and is now on automatic channel (having tried fixed ones I am back to automatic).
    I'm still having the problem.
    Advice? Help or maybe I need to finally give up on Apple, which I have usually loved....

    Thanks for your explicit comments iFelix.
    No luck yet.
    Here is where I stand:
    - home wireless network: RedFoxNetwork
    -->> Cable modem connected to Airport Extreme, router connected to Airport Extreme
    -->> this Network hosts iMac G5 (with iTunes, Airport card), Mac Mini, Windoz XP Dell
    -->> uses channel 11
    --->> uses WEP
    - 2nd network (RedFoxMusic) - as you suggested
    -->> this network is hardwired from router above to Airport Express
    -->> 2nd network configured as you suggested
    ---- do not Distribute IP
    ---- uses channel 2
    ---- iTunes speakers named "Living Room"
    ---- no WEP
    So now I have 2 networks, RedFoxNetwork & RedFoxMusic, in the Airport menu bar selector on my iMac.
    When the iMac is on the primary wireless network, TheRedFoxNetwork, I do not see "living Room" as a choice in the lower right speaker selector in iTunes. Playing music in iTunes produces no music from the living room (hard wired Airport Express connection).
    Just for kicks, I select the RedFoxMusic network on the iMac. "Living Room" appears as a speaker choice, ITunes plays over Airport Express & stereo.
    What have I missed that I needed to select the second (hardwired) network in order for AirTunes to work properly?
    Thanks in advance.
    Rob
    As I said "never connect to the Airport Express
    network", this means "never connect to the Airport
    Express network".
    If I create a second wireless network, then would
    I
    need to switch to the network supporting the
    Airport
    Express?
    No
    If not, the remote speakers would not
    appear in the iTunes Speaker selection dropdown,
    correct?
    They will appear as the Airport Express is still part
    of your network, in fact both wireless networks are
    in fact one network, but you want iTunes to go via
    the ethernet connection to avoid the dropouts.
    Or does the wired connection obviate the need to
    switch to the 2nd (iTunes only) network?
    Yes.
    Which is why I said "never connect to the Airport
    Express network".

  • Airport icon disappeared from menu bar

    For one of my two Users, the Airport icon disappeared from the menu bar. Now I cannot turn Airport on or off. Internet Connect only shows the internal modem. Restarting the computer did not solve the problem.
    It has worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden the icon was gone. Airport Admin does work, and it restarts the base station when I change something (I changed the password just to test this). So the hardware is working.
    If I log on as a different user, the icon is there, and everything works as normal. It therefore seems to be a set-up problem at one of the users.
    I would appreciate any help on this one.
    Thanks in advance,
    Maarten

    Maarten,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Go to Apple -> System Preferences -> Network. Select the AirPort Entry from the list of Network Devices, and click the "Configure..." button.
    If not already there, navigate to the "AirPort" tab, and check the "Show AirPort status in menu bar" checkbox at the bottom of the window.
    This should put it back up there.
    Let me know if you need more help.
